if x is a x real number what is the sum of x and the opposite of x
a-1
b-0
c:-x
d- x+1/x
If the opposite of x is -x, then their sum is 0, however, if the opposite of x is 1/x, then their sum is (x+1)/x
the opposite of x is -x
x + (-x) = 0
1/x is the reciprocal of x
To find the sum of a number and its opposite, you can simply add them together.
In this case, let's consider the number as 'x'. The opposite of 'x' is '-x'.
So, the sum of 'x' and the opposite of 'x' is: x + (-x).
Now, let's simplify this expression:
x + (-x) = 0
Therefore, the correct answer is b) 0.
